Affair on the Plains.
OMAHA June 29th.-Passengers on the
Union Pacific railroad tIain, which arrived
here this morning witnessed thrilling
scene yesterday morning near Pine Bluff, a
station west of Sidney. A herd of several
thousand cattle ranging north of the track,
was moving south, excited by a thunder
storm and almost unmanageable. While
the train was approaching, thunderbolt
descended in the midst of the herd and
killed three of the animals This STAN
peded the herd, and though score of cow
boys strove to head them off, the frightened
mass rushed forward, struggling across the
track in the path of the train Inyolun-
tarily the engineer set the brakes, but. re-
alizing that he would ditch his train if be
ran slowly, he took off the brakes, threw
the throttle wide open and plunged into
the herd at the rate of fifty-five miles an
hour.
A passenger who describes the scene saws
that the steers few in the air in all direc-
tons as the engine struck them, and some
struck the roofs of the passenger cars in
their descent The train passed through
the living drift in safety. When it backed
up TO see if any of the cattle were hurt,
tifty-seyen dead steers were counted.

FOREST CITY, June 30th.-Two men
with guns, hiding in the bushes, were seen
on Wednesday az watering trough on the
Pike City road, presumed to be the men
who tried TO stop the Forest City stage.
They ran away on the approach of the man
who discovered them. A Winchester rife
was used by the highwayman. Detective
Stone, of Wells, Fargo & Co, is here inves-
tgating the matter. The injured driver and
passenger will probably recover, with the
loss of leg by the latter, and thumb and
two fingers and hand frightfully mangled
by the former. The people are so enraged
that, should the desperadoes be caught
their chances for jury trial would be very
slim.

Birds Sensational Story of the Mexica

bird's sensational story OF the Mexican
Dungeon FIimsy Lie.
Ell PAso TEX, June 30th.-An investi-
cation settles it that the heartrending tale
of Bird telegraphed from St. Louis two
months ago is utterly without foundation.
Bird claimed that the members Of an opera
troupe he was managing were confined in
Mexican prison at Paso del Norte on
fiimsy pretext and denied hearing until
four of the company died of smallpox.
The only incident that could possibly have
given rise to such story was the arrest of
the troupe of Spanish Students in Paso
del Norte last winter for refusing to carry
out their contract TO perform after an audi
ence had assembled. The Students de-
clined to perform unless they were paid
certain sum. They were promptly jailed,
but were let out under q bond within an
hour. They performed in Ell Paso two
nights later, and then went north. Mayor
Provincio says there has not been death
from smallpox in the Mexican Jail in six
months. Consul Brigham says of Bird S
story: " It. is a lie made out of whole
cloth

delivered by the Yale graduates. He con-
dsmned the exclusive policy which pro-
! hibited Chinese immigration, and contend
ed that such policy should have no foot

rupted by applause, and many of bis hits
evoked hearty laughter. Lee having cap
tured learned scholarship, he will study
another year IN Yale, and will contend for
the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.
PRESS COMMENTS.
The Herald, in its report of the proceed
ings, says The Chinese students address
was well considered and logical Through
out it there was an undercurrent of appeal
to the audience that the person addressing
them was human being.
The Tribune editorially says One of the
notable things of Yale commencement was
the speech OF the Chinese graduate, giving
the other side OF the Chinese question. a
few addresses of this kind from Cinnamon
would go far to dispel the prevailing ignor-
ance on this subject. The Chinese side is
not often presented and little understood
